I really doubt the stores will be asking for ID. Air, hotels, rental cars and any government service already require ID.
Quarantine is restricting the movement of SICK people. Restricting the movement of HEALTHY people is tyranny.
As far as the non-fatal comment goes, it's been 100% fatal to all those who died FROM it; but that has been lied about to the point of ridicule. Probably two-thirds or three quarters of those who died WITH it did not die FROM it. And most would have died WITHOUT it.
But watch out- you may be forbidden to enter a store without showing your "papers", as you are forbidden now to enter many stores without a mask!
"Awww, whassa madda wid a liddle vaccine and a compliance document to show?"- Marco D'Beast
With all the contradictory statements about covid-19 from so-called experts I have lost faith in the medical research people, and their spokespersons.
To me the Covid tests are questionable, and how covid is spread is questionable, and that it appears to be more contagious than measles is questionable, also all the so-called preventative measures promulgated around the many states this country, and the world, don't seem to be that effective.
It seems everyone is grasping at straws
I am not an anti vaccine person since I have had more than my share of many types of vaccines , but I am also leery of the present group of vaccines for covid-19 since I have lost faith in the present medical groups involved in their development.
There are just too many opposite medical and political opinions about this corona virus for me to have a solid opinion. -Tom
Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Richard Fain provided a new update where he believes the advent of new vaccines will be the silver bullet for society, and cruise ships, to overcome the current global health crisis.
Cruise line CEOs have no choice but to show optimism about the future of the Cruise Industry.
IMHO relying on vaccines to save cruising, will result in less people going on cruises.
These cruise lines are going to have to reorganize, as they have little support from countries, medical agencies, politicians and the Press.
Covid vaccines re not 100% effective so vaccinated Cruisers and ship Crews will come down with Covid and the Press will tear them apart.
In the meantime Time marches on, and the Cruise Line expenses build. -Tom
The problem the Cruise Lines have economically, is they never expected to be shut down for so long.
Each month they don't make expenses is a month closer to bankruptcy.
Norwegian has borrowed more money several times in the past since they got shut down.
Below is from today's Cruise Line Industry News.- Tom
